Uncivil. Immature. Hater. Sad. Self-loathing homophobe. Imposing a narrow minded moral view on others. Besmirching another authors reputation. Poetic and perhaps my favorite, I have blinded my self with the battery acid of self-righteousness.
The scope of this is large. I left another website several months ago because of language that was being used by another author that seemed to be advocating for the idea that adults and kids was his thing - and that he wouldn't take from someone or force, but the implication is he would if it were okay. A quote: I never transgressed: I want their continuing friendship. I would want their given love: not a moment�s passion. I am a respecter: I could never force.
I was already uncomfortable, but then found that this man who likes children wrote a story about a 9 and a 14 year old, I think it was. I was thoroughly creeped out. This when I had already been uncomfortable about another story that had an 11 and 16 year old, as I recall.
I choose not to post at, say, Nifty because I don't want to be where you can read things about Adult/Youth, Bestiality or Urination. I don't care that others go there and read them, there certainly is no law and I'm not their mother. I protest at sharing space with them.
Because of this I left the other site. In the course of a few months, a dialogue was opened and I agreed to return because I was assured this kind of thing wasn't in the mission of this other site and that it would be guarded against in the future. I was not only against such things as a human being, but I'm a parent and I also have knowledge as a foster parent of the damage these kinds of relationships cause. I was assured.
Then, a few months pass. A new story is posted. It makes me uneasy. I almost back out, but I read. Perhaps it isn't what I think, I was promised after all. The summation is this: a 46 year old man who has had a long sexual career finds himself unable to connect with peers, avoids the situations. He goes on a trip for business and meets a boy in a museum. The boy is described as looking to be 16, but could be two years younger or older. This worldy wise boy tells the protagonist that he can tell he's not a pedo. They then end up in the protagonists hotel room, where the physical description of the boy is underdeveloped, lending itself firmly to a younger end of the age range. At some point it's made mentioned that the boy is 30 years younger - making him 16. 46 into 16. They have penetrative sex, each of them, and then he washes the boy in the tub - which seems Freudian to me.
So my reading of this story was 46 year old man hems and haws but has sex with a minor. The story isn't illegal. In fact the author has said you could have backed out. But this wasn't a freedom to read or not issue, not a legal one either. What it was was an issue of broken faith, promises not kept. I criticized the story on its content. But I forgot that dissent and criticism isn't welcomed. The words at the top were the things I was called by the site owner and the author. I requested removal and one other objected to the name calling.
That is why Sanitaria Springs is here and not there. It is why I was banned from their boards and why I had to demand, finally, that my stories be removed since my initial request was ignored.
The character assassination coupled with climbing upon ones cross while in an echo chamber of your own making was almost political to behold. Had I had the same choices to make, I'd still call out this story for what it was. Others did too - and some of you emailed me to say you agreed, but couldn't do so publicly. Many of you started out reading it and backed out, recognizing a familiar story you had no desire to see again. Many have even told me that you can see it clearly violated the stated rules of the site. We didn't have to read it, it's true. But, I don't think we expected to see it there, did we?
I'm wiped out. I've run the gamut from anger to disgust to disbelief - but I have principles and they dictate I don't support adults screwing kids. Period.
Thanks for reading and I hope you continue to enjoy the content provided here, we have plenty more to come.
